VGK superfan driving from Idaho to Las Vegas victory parade
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — After seeing the turnout the day of Game 5 outside T-Mobile Arena, the Vegas Golden Knights are expecting a big crowd for the victory parade—even some out-of-towners.
“It is party city here in Vegas, this is going to be the biggest party we have ever had so shutting down both sides of the strip, we will take buses— Flamingo to Tropicana, and then gather for a rally in front of T-mobile arena,” said Nate Ewell, vice president of communications for the Vegas Golden Knights.
One man is traveling from Idaho. We talked with the super fan about his love for the team ahead of the celebrations for winning the 2023 Stanley Cup.
Tucker Mitchell is a loyal VGK fan, he is driving from Idaho Falls, Idaho for the parade. He says he can’t miss it.
We talked with Mitchell about why he wanted to come all the way down for the parade.
“A coupe of reasons, I have been a sports fan my whole life I know this might be the only chance we can do this, I hope it is not obviously. I don’t want to miss that,” he said.
Fans locally and from out of state are looking forward to the city’s biggest-ever hockey event.

It was a rainy week with intense showers passing through the Treasure Valley. Sunday is expected to be clear but cooler weather and more precipitation is on the way.
I got to capture a phenomenal rainbow coming into the station today after some of the rain we saw on Saturday clear out.
The start of this wee will see some more rain on the way for Boise. Twin Fall will see their precipitation arrive between Monday and Tuesday with chances of rain snow/ mixes and possible accumulation.
A cold front will move in this week dropping temperatures. 40’s will turn into 30’s for the Magic and Treasure Valley’s. Mountains will expect a cool down as well. Thanksgiving is looking like a clear day though for most parts of Idaho.

An Idaho teen is behind bars after a dead baby was found in a hospital drop-off box meant for the anonymous surrender of newborns.
Angel Newberry, 18, was arrested in Twin Falls more than a month after medical officials found the dead baby girl wrapped in a blanket with her placenta still attached in the Safe Haven Baby Box at the Grove Creek Medical Center in Blackfoot, authorities announced Friday.
“The Safe Haven Baby Box is intended to safely and anonymously allow custodial parents to surrender a newborn under 30 days old without legal repercussions, provided the child is unharmed,” the Blackfoot Police Department said in a social media post.
“Unfortunately, the placement of a harmed or deceased infant is not protected under the system of Idaho law.”
Hospital staff immediately responded to an alarm on Oct. 13 indicating a baby had been placed in the box — making the disturbing discovery that the newborn had been dead long before she was abandoned, according to Safe Haven Baby Boxes.
Idaho law only allows for the surrender of an infant who is unharmed.
“We are heartbroken,” Safe Haven Baby Box founder Monica Kelsey said last month.
“Let this be clear: this is an illegal, deadly abandonment.”
The accused teen was charged with failing to report a death to law enforcement officials and the coroner, police said.
Additional charges could be filed as the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the baby’s death is ongoing.
She is being held at Bingham County Jail.
